Awesome party-sized speaker without the hefty pric
on September 7, 2025
Posted by: s0phal0af_194
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This party-sized speaker is awesome! The light display is a very cool touch and sound quality is excellent. I can really blast this speaker and still maintain good sound and bass. It has a carrying handle in the back which makes it easy to transport AND it has the option to be cordless if it’s charged. Easy to connect to through Bluetooth and cords also.

Needs specific TREBLE and BASS level controls!
on August 7, 2025
Posted by: Tim S
from Denver, Colorado
Gender:Male
Verified Purchase:Yes
For the past 50 years, my preference has always been to purchase Panasonic products. However, with this BMAX party speaker, I am very disappointed that there is NO TREBLE and NO BASS controls. The bass is far too "boomy" - ever with the 'extra' bass turned off - and I do not like the "sound presets" that are in place of actual bass and treble controls. For anyone who prefers more treble and less bass, as I do, this is not the system for you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Tim! Thank you for being a loyal customer for so many years and for sharing your detailed thoughts on the BMAX party speaker. We understand how important having precise treble and bass controls is to achieve the perfect sound for your preferences. Your feedback about the presets and bass levels is very valuable and helps guide our future product improvements. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to better meet your expectations down the road!

Super Fun Speaker
on July 21, 2025
Posted by: rebeccav48_2634
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really cool speaker with great audio quality and honestly it's really fun. Bluetooth pairing was super easy. There's options for usb and it comes with an optical cable to plug into a TV or other video source. There are different settings to fine tune the sound to your liking.
The illumination events were super fun. There's 12 different illumination options, 9 that have multiple colors and 3 that have single colors. The illumination effects line up with the music, which is really cool.

It's large for a portable speaker, but easy enough to carry with the handle and not super heavy.
It comes with 4 different power adapters in the box. One for every region in the world, from what I can gather. That part feels a little wasteful. I know it's a portable speaker, but who is taking a 1ft tall speaker on international trips?
Also, the power adapter is also shorter than I expected. Which isn't a problem if you plan to use the battery only, but when you are charging it you need to be pretty close to them outlet.
Overall, I really like it and it's a fun thing to have at gatherings and parties.

B-Max Speaker
on July 11, 2025
Posted by: ajana1_2450
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this speaker in exchange for my honest review. This speaker is awesome! I really appreciate the illumination feature. I have the speaker set up in my home gym for workouts and it adds a great vibe. The bass is great and the sound quality is great. The battery life lasts about 9 hours. The speaker is large in size but light in weight. Pretty easy to use.
Response from PanasonicBy Team Panasonic - S, Team Panasonic, July 11, 2025
Hello there! We're glad to hear the speaker is powering your workouts with both sound and atmosphere. The illumination feature was designed with energy and experience in mind, so it’s great to know it’s hitting the mark in your gym setup.

Good speaker
on July 8, 2025
Posted by: mtdiabl0_3986
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker is great! I love how good the sound is. I also enjoy all the features that come with it. My only complaint is it is rather large and bulky but does have a nice handle for carrying.
Response from PanasonicBy Team Panasonic - S, Team Panasonic, July 10, 2025
Hi there! Thank you for the great feedback! We're glad you’re enjoying the sound quality and features. We understand your point about the size, powerful sound sometimes needs a bit of space, but we’re happy the handle adds some convenience. Appreciate you choosing Panasonic!

Party-Ready Sound with Lights to Match 🎉🔊
on July 6, 2025
Posted by: roussiej_2060
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so impressed with this speaker! The sound quality is amazing, super loud, clear, and the bass really hits, making it perfect for parties or even just dancing around the house. 🕺💃
I love that it connects easily via Bluetooth, and the battery life is surprisingly long for such a powerful speaker. The LED light effects are such a fun touch and definitely help set the party vibe. 🎶✨
It also has multiple input options like USB, AUX, and even a mic input if you want to do karaoke (yes please! 🎤). For the price, I really feel like it delivers way more than expected. Highly recommend if you want something powerful, portable, and fun!
Response from PanasonicBy Team Panasonic - S, Team Panasonic, July 8, 2025

Very nice. Sounds great.
on July 4, 2025
Posted by: laurencorine_4420
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No complaints. It’s easy to connect, it sounds ground, it’s easy to move about, the battery lasts a good while and then if it does run out of battery, you can plug it up and keep using it. It’s been a really nice speaker to have.

Great music!
on July 3, 2025
Posted by: fry21_6209
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has been a game changer for cook outs and the boat! It is very loud and the battery lasts forever. We haven’t charged it for a few weeks and it’s just now needing a charge. The music is clear and I appreciate being able to change the bass with this. I also appreciate the handle on it as well. The colors changing also has a really cool affect. It’s very lightweight but feels durable. I would definitely recommend this product.
